What sounds can go together in your conlang? Post examples (and phonetic descriptions) of what can happen!

Mine doesn't seem to have a real structure yet, as I've been borrowing ideas from various languages, so bits sound like Russian, Italian, Irish, what have you.

As far as I've gotten, there can be 2 vowel sounds in a row (3 including semivowels), and 3 consonants in a row (although 3 is uncommon).

I'll make up a sample in a little while.

Look forward to hearing from you!

This is basically 'what is your syllable structure', right?

Kilhiryui:
(C)(S)V(V)(word-final C), S=semivowel (/j M\/)

Emitary:
(C)(/j/)V(V)

I'm a big fan of Japanese's syllable structure, so I don't go much for complex syllable structures.

Kexyana:

Death person - Kayena - C V S V C V

but

Zombie - Dikayna - ... C V S C V

The so called weirdest case could be...

Nintausoderelda

because in some regions or classes it might be written

Nintausoderlda - ... C V C C C V (or ... C V C (S) C C V?)

Normally there are plenty of vowels but there's a tendency to omit some of them, so (V) C C V or (V) C C S (V or C) are quite common in my conlang I think...
